    • Weight of the liquid displaced

    • Density of the liquid

    • Weight of liquid

    • Mass of liquid

    Correct Answer
    A. Weight of the liquid displaced
    Explanation
    The upthrust of a body is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced. This is known as Archimedes' principle. When an object is submerged in a fluid, it experiences an upward force called upthrust or buoyant force. This force is equal to the weight of the fluid that is displaced by the object. Therefore, the correct answer is "Weight of the liquid displaced."

    1. 5 N

    • 4 N

    • 6 N

    • 8 N

    • 10 N

    Correct Answer
    A. 10 N
    Explanation
    The upthrust of water acting on a wooden cube that is completely immersed in water is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the cube. According to Archimedes' principle, the upthrust is equal to the weight of the water displaced, which is also equal to the weight of the cube. Since the cube is completely immersed in water, its weight is equal to the upthrust, which is 10 N.
